B. PUNCTUATION MARKS:
(i) Ending sentences using the full stop or period
(.); question mark (?) or exclamation
point/mark (!).
We use different punctuation marks to end sen-
tences based on what type of sentences they are.
You would her learned that there are usually three
(3) types of sentences:
1. A Statement:
This type of sentence usually gives us informa-
tion especially when a question is asked or when
an explanation or clarification is needed about
something or someone.
A period or full stop (.) is used to end this type
of sentence.
EXAMPLE 1: I am ten years old.
EXAMPLE 2: Michael and his friends went to
the zoo on Sunday.
2. A Question:
This type of sentence is one that seeks informa-
tion, an explanation or clarification of an issue.
This type of sentence usually begins with the
words "How", "When", "Where", "What", or
"Why". Sometimes it also starts with the words
"May" or "Can".
A question mark (?) is used to end this type of
sentence.
EXAMPLE 1: "Where are you going?" asked
father.
EXAMPLE 2: What did you and your friends do
on Sunday?
EXAMPLE 3: May I have another slice of bread?
3. An Exclamation:
This type of sentence usually expresses a strong
desire or feeling. It is also used to express a com-
mand or order.
An Exclamation mark or point (!) is used to end
this type of sentence.
EXAMPLE 1: "Stop!" the guard shouted.
EXAMPLE 2: "I'm angry about it!" mother
screamed.
EXERCISE:
In EACH of the following sentences insert the
missing punctuation marks to correctly end EACH
sentence. You DO NOT have to rewrite the sen-
tences.
EXAMPLE: Rice and peas is a popular dish in the
Caribbean
